I think this is a good fold. On the flop he could be check-raising with a Q, A8, a four-flush, a PP, or a monster. I don't think he's check-raising you again with a hand you beat (1/5.5 times to justify a call-down) once that second Q falls. If he did... then NH by him.

Check the turn or calldown the CR

I understood it as loose PF and occasionally aggressive post-flop... either way I'm interested in why this is B/C (what is villain CRing x2 with if he's usually passive) or a defensive check (we don't want to give him a free card with his potential draws) rather than B/F.

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking too. I agree with Brad. Check the turn behind or call down the c/r.

A great spot to induce a bluff. I think you should check behind and call one on the river. Bet if you are checked to on the river.

A very tricky one. But I'm calling the turn, check/calling the River.

The 2nd Queen falling is just too good a spot to bluff on. Especially as the Villain has been SO aggressive up until now. A raise here could be his last throw of the Dice.

I entered a pot last night, I hit absolutely nothing on the Flop. But an Ace had fallen. I checked through, and the second Ace fell on the Turn. I bluffed at it, and sure enough, he folded.

I think you played it fine up to the river. It certainly looks like he was representing AQs. I would expect him to cap the flop if he flopped a set.

I would call the river though - getting 9.75:1 and your read on him being aggressive. If he would bluff this hand more than one in ten times you are still +EV

0.9*-1 + 0.1*9.75 = -0.9+0.975 = 0.075

(Not sure if this logic is correct though!)

Problem is, that if you're calling him down, you'll likely have to call one on the river as well, cutting your odds from 9.75:1 to 11.75:2 or ~6:1...
